2022 NFL mock draft: Broncos get new QB in two-round predictions
2022 NFL mock draft: Picks 17-20
Chris Olave. 17. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Ohio State. 60. WR
One of the smoothest route runners in all of college football, Olave would join one of the league’s best young playmakers in Justin Jefferson.
Adam Thielen isn’t getting any younger and the Vikings are a little thin at the receiver position.
Olave is not only a strong route runner, but he’s got the ability to make big plays downfield with strong hands and vertical speed.
Scouting Report. Ohio State. Garrett Wilson. player. Pick Analysis. WR. 18. 13
Ultimately, Wilson might edge out his teammate Olave for WR1 status in this class. There will be other players that have something to say about that distinction as well.
Wilson has outstanding speed and he’s gotten into the habit of making defensive backs look flat out bad, no matter if he’s lined up in the slot or out wide.
He plays with a level of confidence that is a lot of fun to watch.
For the Chargers, he would essentially replace Mike Williams.
Scouting Report. Arkansas. player. 15. Pick Analysis. WR. Treylon Burks. 19
The New Orleans Saints and Michael Thomas are not on the greatest of terms.
Even if the Saints and Thomas are able to repair their relationship, they are about to get a bit of a rude awakening of what it looks like to go into the regular season without their WR1 and with very little behind him.
Treylon Burks is a big-bodied receiver with huge YAC potential at the next level.
Pick Analysis. Tyler Linderbaum. player. 47. Scouting Report. C. Iowa. 20
Linderbaum has the look of a player that’s going to spend the next 15 years as one of the best centers in pro football.
Snapping the ball to Mac Jones in New England makes a ton of sense.
Bill Belichick and Kirk Ferentz go way back, and although the Patriots haven’t been going over the top to tap into the Hawkeye pipeline, this is a fit that makes a ton of sense.
